As a part of Its 'campaign It offers a few rules Which, if followed, It says, would save many lives. Here are some of them: . Never approach railroad tracks that must be crossed at grade, without this thought : 1 "Here la where 1 must play safe!" Have your car under ' control, then you will be prepared for any emergency. You know the importance of having good brakes' on your car. Look them over, from time to time. 1 Probably nine out of ten times there will not be a train near enough to check your progress over the tracks. Make no effort to go across, until, by careful use of both eyas and ears; you have sized up the situa tion. . All muf.t agree that a little time spent In trying to protect life .and limbs h a good in vestment. We-use-up some time hunting bargains In stores. ' ; Better plan to hold onto the life you possess. - No bargain coun ter baa another to offer you. When your end comes, you will be a long time dead. The bulletin in which these sug gestions are contained points out that the thought, "I can beat' It across!" which enters the driver's mind when he sees a train approaching, Is a mere whim and not a sober judgment. 'J It adds that a fast train can cover the quarter ofurmrlf frOrrr thff wWletMng post to the crossing In IS seconds and advises drivers to bear this fact in mind when approaching a crossing for which a train is whistling. A few -days ago an Oregon news paper remarked that some 11,000 au to mobiles have tried to bump trains off the tracks at crossings, but to date none has succeeded; hence the feat may reasonably be regarded as im possible of accomplishment and there fore not worth trying, This is a flip' pant statement of a fact that reeks with tragedy, but it emphasizes the f Important point that racing for crossing with a train Is a one-sided game In which the risks are all on ; the side of the automobile. jr The railroads and the public service and highway commissions of the va ', rlous states are co-operating cordially ' . in the effort to reduce so far as poa ; Bible the number of highway crossings over railroad tracks. In Oregon, when plans that are now made are '' carried to completion, the number of t; crossings on the Pacific and Colum- . bla highways will be reduced from 100 to only five; which Is a notable .-, achievement in the direction ' of greater safety of travel; but the total ' number of crossings In the United States Is so large and the cost of build- ' ing . overhead - or underground is , great that the time Is still far In the future when crossing hazards will be -. eliminated in this way. If the annual toll of lives sacrificed at railroad crossings Is to be reduced as It should be,' drivers of automobiles must learn ' to 'take heed when approaching rall- :' road crossings. eyes, and so prefer their Irresponsible childhood to the harassed existence of their parents. ' Perhaps, however, this Is really a stern comment on adult discontent and failure. If a home Is so full of nervous worry nnd obvious complain ing that even children see the petty annoyances and tragedies bigger than the joys and peace, then something is very much amiss with father and mother and growir-up brothers or sisters. This chanxe In the children's attltudo, If it Is genoral, carries a les- taon and a warning to those who should be setting tho example of rich ami happy life today. A suit at law over a stick of gum dragged through tho courts of Illinois for eight years. Which reminds us that a suit of clothes needs to be drugged through tho washtub for about the same length of time In order to eradicate the sticky spot resulting from a misplaced wad of gum. A budding politician in Omaha pro poses, if elected to office, to champion a law barring from the malls news- papers carrying full page advertise ments. He must be a non-advertiser with an active and up-to-date competitor. Henry ' Ford proposes to pacify Mexico by establishing automobile factories there. That's a sound scheme. Get the Greasers busy tink ering flivvers and they'll have no time left for hell raising. Every now and then a Callfornian praises Oregon's roads. You never can tell what will happen. Earlier Days in Eugene 1 (From the Morning Register, July 15, 1903) Capt. Isaac Gray died at 2:10 a. m. yesterday in Good Samaritan hospital, Portland, as a result of an Injury. He came to Eugene in 1890, was engaged In the grocery business here for a number of years and was engaged in other pursuits including the opera tion of the steamer Eugene, The open season for deer begins today. The hunters will soon trek to the mountains. TJ. C. Holeman has recovered from the smallpox and Is again at his place of business. The contract for the new! Congre gational pairsonage on Seventh street was let to Leonard X. Williams of this city. The contract price Is 1.682. Yesterday Wade, the little son of Green Zumwalt, living west of Irving, while playing In the yard with his twin brother fell and broke his arm near the elbow. . THE OBSOLETE WISH When most of today's adults were children their perennial wish was to be "grown up" and to be able to do all ' the marvelous things grown-ups did.', Have the little folks grown - wiser? : Some one, it is reported, recently I asked about 60 youngsters if 1 they , would like to be grown up, ani why. ; One. lone child answered yes, because b "then I could be my own boss." The other 49 were strong for the status ; quo. Their, reasons were clear and W firm. They ran something like this: "You have to worry about your ? kids." '"'You have to go to war." v,'Ya,u, have to bother about whether there's enough for the family to eat." "You can't run all -around when you ' want to." "You have to be solemn.1' ''"You get deaf and have . to use glasses." ' h Perhaps this is a symptom of that precocious, calculating "wlaeneaa" as cribed to the younger generation by ' their despairing elders. They are said to see Ufa with cold, disillusioned Another remarkable rally In Pope Leo's condition occurred yesterday. He was able to converse with, attend ing physicians for a few minutes.

One's Friends "Dear M1ss Page: I have been read Ing your column for some time, but have never seen the question Answered that I am about to ask. Is it correct, wnen introducing a dov to your par ents or friends to say, "Sleet my fath er, Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith:' or just Meet my lather, air. smith;' for boy who knew your name, would naturally know your father's. (2) wnen introducing the boy to your menus, wnicn is u proper to mention first, the boy's name or the name of your friend? 3) How should you in troduce a boy between the ages of 17 ana zi; as Jonn Brown, or as Mr. Brown? "If I am not asking too much, will you pi ease give in is matter your im mediate attention, as I think others besides myself will benefit thereby. x'uzziea aiary." I am very glad that you gave me the opportunity to sneak on thn sub ject of Introducing people, because the way In which introductions are made is a rather good test of people's man ners, ana it is one tnat many persons fail to measure up to, satisfactorily. In the first place, the rush of our modern life, or some other objection able thing, has given birth to that most objectionable expression, "Meet Mr. So-an-So." I beg of you, never use It. It is an abbreviated form of what is perfectly correct to say, "I would like you to meet Mr. So-and-So," but It is just about as vulgar as it can oe. i Know you may near some nice People Use It such thimra am jm catching as measles, and about aa de sirable but don't you do It. under anv circumstances. When you Introduce the boy to your father, say simply, "Father, this is Mr. Brown,'' or "Father, this Is Bobbv Brown." nn. cortnng to lobby's age, dignity and general standing. If the older man happened to be your step-father and you naa me naou or caning him rath er, then you would still say "Father, this is Bobby Brown," but take occa sion afterwards to say to thn bov quieny, -vir. jones is my stepratner, but I always call him father." Other- wise It would go without savins- that your father's name would bo yours (2) It depends first on the sex, sec ond on the age of your friends. The ooy is always introduced to thn elrl. Never make the mistake of my Ing, "Miss. Jones, I want to Introduce you to Mr, Smith." What you should say, is "Miss Jones, may I introduce (or present) Mr. Smlth7" Or to vour older sister, for Instance, "Mary, this ltf Johnny Jones." A woman Is never introduced to a man unless hn is much older or a very great celebrity. You should not say to a girl friend, "Let me present my father." of course. The formula there would be, "Father, wis is Anas Mmitn, or "Ainry wmuh. But If your father were the same nun as the lady, you would then say, "Let me introduce my latner to you. ' If you are introducing two bovn of about the same age, It mutters very llttlo whose name you mention first. You say, "Mr. Smith, this Is Mr. Brown," or vice versa; or "Bobby, this is Johnny Smith," if Bobby hap pens to be your brother. Or. you can say, "Mr. Smith, this is my brother. Bobby." (8) As to whether you in troduce a boy as Mr. Brown or John Brown, depends entirely on his age and type and the circumstances. There are occasions on which It would be very familiar and rude to introduce a boy as "Bobby" and ther are onn. nions on which it would be perfectly absurd to introduce the same boy as "Mr. Brown." That you must Judge for yourself; and a good way to do Is to notice what others In the group are calling the boy, RUSSIANS OUT OF PARLEY SOVIETS MUST SUBMIT XFAV PRO POSALS AT ILUit'E (By tho Associated Pressl TUN HAGUE.

There hrts been keen rivalry among American In London to gain emrunuo to King George and Queen Mury's oourt levees, which have been revived for tho first Unto lu eight Yenrs, Colonel ltarvey, the American ambassador, has been inundated with requests, pleas and prayers from Americans of all ranks "to see what the king and queen look like." Kvery sort of argument has been advanced by tho petitioners, and the a ni bttiul or has found It difficult to choose between thono legitimately entitled to u bowing acquaintance with the king and queen, unl mere tourists or "social climbers" who want some thing to write homo about or to put tu their diurles. Among the favored American wom en who were permitted to bend their knee before George uud Mary was the wife of a Washington diplomat, who has ni veil the following description of tho function: "Tho dominating and most lasting impression was the appearance of the queen. I had been led to expect from photographs und published descrip tions that she was of a severely matronly typo. Instead, sho seemed to bo perfectly beautiful; In fact, su perb In her regain ess, and wearing her magnificent jewels like flowers. Her face had nothing of the pictured severity, but radiated the kindliest of smiles as I passed and courtesled.

Of hauteur there was none; in fact, the manner In which the queen and Princess Mury kept chatting and laughing (luting tho in tervals seemed to indicate that the mcmtiers of the royal family were en joying themselves as much us we were. "Tho machinery of the ceremonial was so wonderful, so perfect in its apparent effortlessness, that . there realty was no reason to be nervous. Whlto-gloved hands were always ready to arrange our trains, to point the route we were to gj, to hold us for a moment, or Indicate that wo should proceed. It was Impossible to do tho wrong thing. The courtesy before the king, then a few steps and another courtesy before the queen, and the presentation wan over before I realized it. "The difference between tho court and a presidential reception at Wash ington Is essentially one of back ground und size.
